Tolino Vision 6 Bootloop

[stoxx]

I just ran a test and reinserted the old card to rule out the possibility that the issue has anything to do with the device itself. When the old card is inserted, I can enter recovery mode. With the new card, I can't. So it must be the SD card I'm using. What specifications does it need to meet for this to work? (I flashed the image using Etcher.)

For example, I use these µSD cards:

Try using DMDE, it might help. There's a video here. Be careful when choosing removable media. Don't confuse it with your computer's HDD or SSD!

It seems the problem was actually with the SD card. I'll post the two that didn't work. Maybe we can figure out what the issue is from them. Thanks so much for the help!

Hi Waldy,
can you please send me an image for 37NB-E70P1M+6B2 too. My Tolino is hanging up and a mSD card is probably defective. Thank you !

One possibility is that you have counterfeit µSD cards. You can check SanDisk's site fpr some information. One article is Learn About Non-Authentic, Fake, Counterfeit Sandisk Memory Cards . You can also download various tools for Windows (H2TestW, ValiDrive or HearthCardCheck and MediaTester which are Windows store apps). There are also apps for MacOS and Linux but I haven't tested any of them.

Another option, which some people writing Kobo µSD card images have found useful, is doing a full overwrite of the µSD card using the SD Card Association's SD Memory Card Formatter for Windows/Mac before writing the image. This is on the slow side side it rewrites the entire card—much like many of the test utilities.
